Them Crooked Macca


(Monday January 18, 2010 12:09 AM)

Paul McCartney almost became bass player in Them Crooked Vultures, he has revealed.

The former Beatle discussed the position with drummer Dave Grohl following February's Grammy Awards and ahead of the supergroup's launch.

However, he was too late to get involved, with The Who's John Paul Jones taking the position alongside the Foo Fighters' star and Josh Homme, from Queens Of The Stone Age.

"We went out for a bite to eat afterwards and Dave told me he was starting this band with Josh", said Macca of their meeting last year.

"I asked him who was playing bass and he rather sheepishly told me he'd approached John.

"So you read it here first; Paul McCartney was nearly the bass player in Them Crooked Vultures", joked the rock legend.
